Dumpstaphunk

When: Tue., Nov. 19, 9 p.m. 2013

Two of Dumpstaphunk's members are second-generation members of the famed Neville clan: keyboardist and singer Ivan and guitarist Ian. Dumpstaphunk lives up to its (laughable) name and lineage, combining P-Funk's party vibes and call-and-response chants with soulful vocals and searing blues guitar. Openers Jeff Sipe Trio include guitarist Mike Seal, bassist Taylor Lee and Sipe, a co-founding member of Aquarium Rescue Unit who has drummed with a host of others on the jam circuit. Their fluid tunes start and end with the jazz upon which the classically trained threesome was raised.
